Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!

Hey! My usual approach to these questions is a skill, a short, specific example of how I've demonstrated it in previous roles and then one/two sentences explaining why it's useful and what aspects of the role I could apply it to hope that's helpful. For 250/300 words I usually choose three skills and examples.What skills do you think are needed to be a successful solicitor at ... ? (250 words)
For a 250 word question should you describe how you possess those skills or simply state them and why you believe they are needed to be a successful solicitor at (insert firm name)???

I'm sorry what?! 🥹my strength for latham was self-awareness and amberjack said my weakness is self-awareness
I can totally relate to your post. In my akin report, collaboration was my strength and amberjack is telling me I’m neither inclusive nor collaborative 🤣 honestly don’t know how test benchmarks are decided as each one of them seem contradictory in their feedback reportsmy strength for mayerbrown was teamwork and my weakness for akin was collaboration.
my strength for akin was growth and my weakness for links was excellence.

all these contradictory results and i have managed to not past sjt for every single one of these firms. HOW. HOW DOES IT WORK
High in all three aside from grit which was mid/low (four bars)What did everyone get in the automatic feedback report for RS? Particularly the pillars? I did quite high in digital and low in grit. Mid high in the other two
They don't. I really wish firms would stop it with these tests.my strength for mayerbrown was teamwork and my weakness for akin was collaboration.

I believe I did it on the 7th of January.Hey so sorry to hear 😢 do you mind if I ask when you did their online test? Still waiting for any signs from them
Watson Glaser for me is still a mystery 😭I KNOW RIGHT😭 I couldn’t relate more, it is so frustrating
The only explanation I have is that every firm has established its own benchmark based on the results of the people working there who took the test. This sets a standard for new applicants. So the benchmark for how “collaborative” you are is different for every firm
Firms, use the Watson Glaser more as I finally learned how to master it (and also do it at super speed haha)
Practice really makes perfect😭 I know it's a common piece of advice, but it truly is effective - I've noticed significant improvement over time.Watson Glaser for me is still a mystery 😭
I wonder what it would be like for Baker cause they just implemented sjt. what benchmark would they haveI KNOW RIGHT😭 I couldn’t relate more, it is so frustrating
